New Brewery Opens in Keynsham AWARD-WINNING No. 67 Autumn 2005 CAMPAIGN CAMPAIGN FOR FOR REAL ALE REAL ALE www.camrabristol.org.uk PPPIIINNNTSTSTS WWWEEESSSTTT PPAward-winning newsletter of the Bristol & District Branch of CAMRA, the Campaign forTT Real Ale New brewery opens in Keynsham THE town of Keynsham, between Bristol and Bath, is once again to have its own real ale micro-brewery. Situated in a small trading estate off the Bristol Road, the 10-barrel brewery uses equipment that lay unused for three years after the previous business ceased trading. Head brewer and director John Firth says he will concen- trate on providing flavour from his beers, the first of which is the 4.5% ABV Somerdale Gold, one of the new ‘Golden Ale’ category recently recognised by CAMRA. It is a pale coloured hoppy ale, with a floral citrus taste and spicy aroma. More regular beers will follow, including a lower-gravity bitter and something ‘dark and tasty’ for the autumn, plus an Xmas Ale and later some seasonal specials. John is an experienced Craft Brewer, long-term CAMRA member and currently Chairman of the Bristol and District Tasting Panel, so he knows a thing or two about how beers should taste. John says he especially loves the amazing variety of flavours that can be extracted from fresh hops of differing species, by combining them with the highest quality floor-malted barley and true brewers’ yeast. Strewth, it’s hot work setting up He says, “When I heard that Colin Brook, the landlord of your own brewery the Old Bank Inn on the High Street in Keynsham, was looking to re-open the brewery, I leapt at the chance to turn my hobby And so the Keynsham Brewing Company is born. into a business – every full-mash home brewer dreams of If you wish to find out more, perhaps to give the beer a try having his own micro-brewery.

  • ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism
    1 Music Festival Capitalism Chris Anderton Abstract: This chapter adds to a growing subfield of music festival studies by examining the business practices and cultures of the commercial outdoor sector, with a particular focus on rock, pop and dance music events. The events of this sector require substantial financial and other capital in order to be staged and achieve success, yet the market is highly volatile, with relatively few festivals managing to attain longevity. It is argued that these events must balance their commercial needs with the socio-cultural expectations of their audiences for hedonistic, carnivalesque experiences that draw on countercultural understanding of festival culture (the countercultural carnivalesque). This balancing act has come into increased focus as corporate promoters, brand sponsors and venture capitalists have sought to dominate the market in the neoliberal era of late capitalism. The chapter examines the riskiness and volatility of the sector before examining contemporary economic strategies for risk management and audience development, and critiques of these corporatizing and mainstreaming processes. Keywords: music festival; carnivalesque; counterculture; risk management; cool capitalism A popular music festival may be defined as a live event consisting of multiple musical performances, held over one or more days (Shuker, 2017, 131), though the connotations of 2 the word “festival” extend much further than this, as I will discuss below. For the purposes of this chapter, “popular music” is conceived as music that is produced by contemporary artists, has commercial appeal, and does not rely on public subsidies to exist, hence typically ranges from rock and pop through to rap and electronic dance music, but excludes most classical music and opera (Connolly and Krueger 2006, 667).

  • The Eagle Public House at Watchfield the History Known So Far
    The Eagle Public House at Watchfield The history known so far One of the sources that has been invaluable in tracing the origins of local public houses has been the census returns of the 19th century. The return for Watchfield for 1861 provides clues. We have already identified that John Bowden’s beer house on page six of that census was the Royal Oak (Demolished in 2011). On page ten we know that Adin Sly ran the beer house that was known as the Star Inn, in Oxford Square (burned down in 1928). But there is another property on page six called a, ‘Public House,’ being run by William Carter who was described as a, ‘Pig Dealer & Beer Seller.’ He also appears in the Oxford Journal newspaper on 9th August 1862, described as a, ‘beer-house keeper of Watchfield,’ who was fined for possessing an unstamped half-pint measure. The Berkshire Chronicle dated 1st October 1859 reports at the electoral registration hearings at Faringdon that, William Carter, James Green and Adin Sly all failed to appear. It’s also significant to know that these three budding electors, all had strong connections with the three Watchfield beer houses. Even though the beer house that William Carter was running was not named, the evidence would strongly suggest that it was the Eagle. The Eagle at Watchfield in 2020. Photo by Neil B. Maw An inquest that took place in 1870 is the first documentary confirmation of the name of the pub. The Reading Mercury newspaper dated 31st December 1870, reported on the evidence given at the Eagle, concerning the circumstances of the death of Mr Edward Jefferies, a local farmer.

  • Brass Bands and the Temperance Movement in the 19Th Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Humanities Commons Thirsty work – brass bands and the temperance movement in the 19th century Gavin Holman – March 2018 Playing a brass instrument is thirsty business. All that pneumatic effort, spit and water vapour will leave the average player needing a good drink after a rehearsal or a concert – possibly the reason that brass bands, in particular, have been renowned for enjoying a tipple or two – though hopefully not before their performances. Nevertheless, brass bands have had a long association with the temperance movement, which advocated abstinence from alcohol, helping to promote the teetotal message to the public. The 19th century saw the rise of the fight against alcohol and the parallel increase in the popularity and availability of bands led to brass bands being adopted or established by various temperance organisations. This paper gives a brief overview of the temperance movement and brass bands associated with it, together with some contemporary portraits of temperance bands, drink-related band tales, and lists of the temperance bands over the last 200 years Contents The temperance movement ....................................... 2 Temperance organisations ........................................ 3 Temperance brass bands ........................................... 4 Some stories of (in)temperance ................................ 6 Some pictures of (in)temperance ........................... 10 Profiles of ten temperance bands (1910)
